Meet Your Baby’s Pediatric Physical Therapist
About Dr. Ina Joshi
With specialized training in pediatric neurodevelopment and infant motor milestones, I have dedicated my career to supporting the youngest members of our community.
My journey into pediatric physical therapy began long before PT school. I have been fascinated by how brains work and how babies develop since I was a kid taking care of my younger cousins. I became a physical therapist as an avenue to impact early development, help babies thrive, and support parents in the first years of life.
I believe that every baby deserves a gentle, nurturing start. My approach combines evidence-based clinical expertise with a parent-led philosophy, ensuring that both you and your little one feel supported, heard, and empowered. Whether we are working on core stability or reaching developmental milestones, my goal is to make therapy a joyful, play-based experience for your family
With 10+ years of experience in pediatric physical therapy, I am confident in my ability to help you navigate your therapy concerns.
